I think it really depends on what Lith wants, he has had two chances at tribulations back to back with his fights against Meln, it has been said that Mogar dosen't force or command guardians to do things, a tribulation is supposed to be when Mogars will and the will of the person match and they gain Mogar's recognition, Baba yaga even showed some remorse when she talked about her rejecting becoming a guardian because she had the misconception that becoming a guardian was working for Mogar and doing what Mogar commanded, instead it was described as doing more of what you already do. I found Lith's most recent tribulation to be strange, it seemed to me that Lith's wrath for the kingdom was recognized by Mogar but it was obviously the wrong decision which is where my confusion comes from, it could have been a test from Mogar. I think its obvious that the "chains" that bind lith are his past from earth, I don't think Lith sees himself as two separate people, Lith and Derek, during his last tribulation is the only time that has happened and Lith has never referred to himself in that sense, I don't think Lith has a problem accepting his life as Derek, I think he needs to reconcile with his past abuses and forgive himself for not being able to protect his little brother, Liths whole life on Mogar has been partially about him healing from his past, I think Lith is close to putting his past behind him, his recent talk with Baba yaga when Lith asked what was wrong with him and Baba yaga revealed that he is close to a breakthrough but his abomination lifeforce is unbalancing his other two, his talk with Faluel about his auxiliary cores not being finished, and his double life as a divine beast hiding as a human(not sure how much of an impact this one has but I think it adds to it), altogether I think Liths problem is himself. Lith past is his main hurdle and his abomination side is the original soul from earth, after Lith reconciles or accepts his life as Derek I think it will fix his problems, his 3 lifeforce will reach harmony, he will go through another evolution, and probably fix his core issues letting him reach bright violet.

it's really unlikely unless lith shares with her how to get to awakened violet core at least, otherwise it would feel really forced by the author, Lith may have already shared it with her or at least used her as a sounding board when he was trying to figure it out himself, her current core has the energy to get to violet but I'm not sure about white core, I know unawakened mages cores are supposed to be stronger than an awakened mages of the same color, but I would still be surprised to see it happen in one go, I do think Quylla will end up with a white core but I think when she awakens she will probably get violet.

Gloriana hasn't stopped him from getting in trouble yet, after he got attacked by the dwarfs and left only to come back and get attacked by the dwarfs again. everything is adding up to the near future being a very dangerous time , master Willix already hinted at a coming war , and the red ocean is definitely not going to be a peaceful place , part of the reason why Ves wants to go there is because of the lack of established powers so he can get away with more , I'm not saying he is going to jump right into the danger but I don't think it will be too long before Ves wants to go on a "adventure".

I understand that the undead/skeleton/necrotic energy is effecting Marcus and making him want to kill the living and being a skeleton makes him uninterested in the pleasures of the flesh , but it would be nice to see him gain some motives aside from just get stronger , even as a skeleton he still craved someone or something to talk to which is why he had Wilson .

I wonder if Khan could make some kind of mana sonar ability to see more detail with his mana sense.

I think gramps genuinely dosen't care , everyone dying to him are pawns at best and all he cares about is power , more people will be born and as said earth hasn't even seen it's most talented yet.

He will wish he didn't know, many many times!

it's very unlikely that Ves will stay somewhere safe for long , while he just got out of a battle I'm sure between his new "friends" he's trying to make to secure some combat carriers and his "allies" in the MTA , one or both of them will likely send him on some missions , or Ves will get himself into trouble again , and lastly theres the phasewater which is the reason everyone is going there , while I dont think it's the main reason Ves is going there , he is definitely going to want to get his share.

I think it is mainly the area , being so close to the gate many groups are off loading the sub capital ships , so many ships being off loaded in the same area is going to drive down prices.

skinwalkers are supposed to be impossible to detect down to the cellular level , I wonder if Manohar and Quylla can come up with something?

night still having Orpal as a host feels really forced. originally it worked as a way past the arrays at liths house but those have been fixed , Orpal offers no other benefits as a host . Night is making a whole lot of bad decisions , if she lives through this I wonder how baba yaga is going to punish her?
